6. "I think there's less incentive to upgrade compared to phones" In response to In response to 0
My ipad 4 still runs beautifully and does everything I need. I can't see much benefit in the latest gen of tablets. Most users would probably struggle to justify an upgrade.
On the other hand, my phone takes a hammering; the exterior and innards are both showing signs of age.
I can see this issue becoming more prominent as technology get better, the increased benefits of new hardware become less appealing vs cost. At least with phones, upgrade cycles mean people are happy to update every 2 years or so.
